He says he wasn't planning on sending anything. My wife is so ticked at him and I am too he expects everyone to buy him things but doesn't want to return the "gesture"...the bothers mother (my ex) isn't sending anything...she said F-him...he sent her a list of things a mile long and when she told him that she couldn't afford all that, he had a screaming fit and hung up...yes immature.

What would you do? I already sent the card with the gift card and really have no problem with that but extra??? He was the only child for many years and was spoiled rotten, our fault for sure....

Didn't we already discuss this kid when it was his birthday?

Just another reason for Christmas depressions.

So many people hate Christmas and its really easy to understand when you have kids like this.

Get them some mistletoe and when they ask why tell them that mistletoe is a parasite-----like you.

2x^

I do not know why grown folks exchange gifts.
It leads to trouble more often than it is worth.
If you are grown, and need or want gifts (except females from significant others), you need to take stock of what is meaningful to you.

If you'd take a lesson from the ex you wouldn't need to ask anymore. His selfishness is very ugly yet you continue to feed it.

And there being an 'Ex-' is often how they get that way; misbehave for attention, which is deminished after a divorce.
When you divorce, you and yr children loose something you can never regain...
